    He said there is a risk but he feels the risk is minimal. He said keep an eye on it and it's not a big deal

    I convinced my wife 18" wheels are better for sand than 20" due to airing down and less side wall. Resulting in Method KO2 combo.

    I had rather large chunk of rubber missing from my side of my stock tires (BFG Rugged Trail). Local tire guy in my town said that's perfectly okay. I changed them out nevertheless with 295s. But I drove on them a while before upsizing them. But with your tire, I am not sure how deep the cut goes in.

    Tire shop said its "superficial" he guesstimated about 1/32 deep if that. He stuck his nail in it and said this isn't an official measurement but this tells him that I'm good

    Completely agree tires and brakes never go cheap.
